Right now I would put my 20 angel babies in it to grow up. But that not helpful to you. If I were starting over, I'd get. 1 pair veil-tailed angels, 6 apistogramma caucatoides triple red, 3 ottos or SAEs, 8 corydora. Lots and lots of swordplants.

If it were my tank, I would do one big beautiful fish like a Vieja Argentea (http://www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/species.php?id=92) and a bunch of female convicts as targets/dithers. Another option would be a couple nice Pike cichlids (like http://www.cichlid-forum.com/profile...ory.php?cat=35) If you like predators. Pretty much any cichlid that stays around 12" or under will be fine for you. Look around the profiles for central and south american cichlids on www.cichlid-forum.com and find one you like.
